About 20th Century Studios

20th Century Studios is a major American motion-picture production label that develops and produces theatrical and streaming feature films. Founded in 1935 through the merger of Fox Film Corporation and Twentieth Century Pictures, it built a long-running legacy across Hollywood classics, large-scale franchise filmmaking and cinematic worldbuilding.

Operating within Walt Disney Studios, the label develops and produces films for theatrical release as well as Disney+ and Hulu. Its work includes feature-film development and production, co-production, franchise and intellectual-property development, visual-effects integration, and theatrical and streaming content packaging.

Screen legacy

The studio's catalogue spans acclaimed classics including All About Eve, The Grapes of Wrath, The Sound of Music, Cleopatra, Titanic and Gentleman's Agreement, alongside the original and prequel Star Wars trilogies. Its franchise history includes Avatar, Planet of the Apes, Alien, Predator, Die Hard, X-Men, Deadpool, Kingsman, Home Alone and Ice Age.

More recent and forthcoming titles cited in the research include Free Guy, The Martian, Bohemian Rhapsody, Ford v Ferrari, The Creator, Amsterdam, Avatar: Fire and Ash, Kingdom of the Planet of the Apes, Alien: Romulus, Predator: Badlands, The Devil Wears Prada 2 and Springsteen: Deliver Me From Nowhere.

Continuing evolution

The company was rebranded from Twentieth Century Fox in 2020 after The Walt Disney Company acquired most of 21st Century Fox's entertainment assets in 2019. It remains an active production-studio label, with creative executive leadership overseen by David Greenbaum and Steve Asbell.
